Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049721APS00001

The APS-OAA-21-00001 Addendum Indonesia (Funding Opportunity Number 72049721APS00001) is a USAID/Indonesia grant opportunity issued under the broader 2020-2022 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement. Through this addendum, USAID/Indonesia is making a targeted call for concept papers (referred to as "Concepts") that are specifically designed to strengthen Indonesia's national self-reliance. The opportunity is meant to encourage practical, partnership-driven approaches that can produce durable development outcomes, with particular attention to solutions that can continue and scale beyond the life of USAID support.

The program is anchored in the Global Development Alliance model, which emphasizes collaboration with the private sector and the mobilization of non-USAID resources. A central theme of the addendum is USAID/Indonesia's desire to work with a larger and more diverse set of Indonesian and multinational companies. The intent is to leverage private sector expertise, operational capabilities, networks, and funding to help catalyze market-based solutions. In other words, USAID is looking for concepts that do not rely solely on traditional aid programming, but instead use commercial incentives and partnerships to address development challenges in ways that can be sustained over the long term.

Concepts submitted under this addendum should focus on improving national self-reliance across key development sectors: economic growth; democracy and governance; environment; and health. While the notice does not provide detailed sub-topics in the excerpt provided, the framing signals that USAID is interested in ideas that strengthen systems, institutions, and markets, and that can measurably contribute to Indonesia's capacity to finance and manage its own development priorities. Proposals that credibly integrate private sector engagement and show how market dynamics can be shaped to deliver public benefits are especially aligned with the stated purpose.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as "Other" for the opportunity category and funding activity category (with additional clarification referenced as being in the full addendum). The funding instrument type is a grant. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be spelled out in the full text of the addendum. The issuing agency is the Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically USAID/Indonesia based in Jakarta, and the CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 98.001.

Key dates and award information included in the listing indicate the opportunity was created on January 15, 2021, with a concept submission deadline of November 30, 2021. USAID anticipated making around four awards, with an award ceiling of up to $12,000,000. Taken together, this suggests an opportunity designed to support a small number of relatively substantial partnerships, likely ones that can demonstrate meaningful scale, leverage, and long-term impact.

The notice also directs applicants to consult the full addendum (referenced as being available in the related documents section) for complete requirements, instructions, and any specific priorities or constraints. This is important because addenda to APS mechanisms often include details on how concepts will be reviewed, what constitutes acceptable cost share or leverage expectations in a GDA context, submission formatting, and any Indonesia-specific programmatic focus areas that go beyond the high-level sectors listed in the summary.
